Endless Engine Challenge

Ham and Noodles characters

My first entry into a Blender competition. I didn't win, but I gained a ton of experience.

Top 100 entries — I'm not one

The Endless Engine challenge had you create a unique render from a simple template provided by the host. It pushed me to think outside the box. My effort pales next to the top 100, but the experience was worth it.

This video features the top 100 entries. Amazing what these artists produced with Blender.
